Seia, Tripper, Apps For Me, Caster interesting apps for bada 2.0

Hi All
i was looking for Caster on google to find out how it work and i came across an interesting article on bada developers site
Four kinds of service applications based on bada 2.0 - Seia, Tripper, Apps For Me, Caster - were exhibited at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. The Seia application lets you keep and share precious memories with the Lifelog service. The Tripper application lets you chart your moving path and landmarks using the Location service and share with others. The Apps For Me application provides personalized recommendations for people who want to purchase applications. The Caster service facilitates instant sharing between PC web browsers and mobile phones through Push.
In particular, visitors were especially excited over Apps For Me and Caster.
Apps For Me
The Apps For Me application provides recommendations based on application usage logs; these usage logs accumulate on the terminal since bada 2.0. By analyzing the log, the OSP server extracts user preferences based on the usage history and makes recommendations based on similarities. Especially, the package sharing for Apps For Me is a very cool feature. You can create/share packages with applications and get recommendations by package unit. User information is anonymous.

​Nowadays, there are too many applications. The crowded application market place is confusing for users; what application should they downloaded or what application do they need? Visitors to Apps For Me said that they really loved the smart recommendations from Apps For Me. Fortunately, the bada 1.2 based Apps For Me will be available soon in Samsung Apps and bada 2.0 based Apps For Me will be integrated to the Samsung Apps in the bada phone.
Caster
Caster provides instant sharing between PC web browsers and mobile phones. You can send URLs from a page directly to your phone. As well as URLs, some images, videos, text, phone numbers, and locations included in web pages also can be sent. These contents are then specially formatted for mobile phones. For example, for a phone number, you can dial it directly; or for a location, you can see the map of that location. In addition to transferring to your mobile, you can share contents with friends through Caster. Caster is noteworthy because it will change how web content is consumed by people. Members of the press, as well as regular visitors, were greatly interested in Caster with its simple but useful features. Visitors asked how they could get Caster right now, but unfortunately they will have to wait until the bada 2.0 release.
​
Best Regards

caster is cool. at least i wanted a app like this but doesnt know how to send my data from pc to phone...

[Q] Suspicious Activity - Microphone activated and background MMS activity. Help!

I am running a recent CM11 nightly on my Nexus 4. I have recently noticed some suspicious behavior. First, I installed a guitar tuner that I use a lot (gStrings) which would not start because it said the Microphone was being used by another app. This persisted through several reboots. I chalked it up to a bug with CM or and incompatibility with the latest Android and forgot about it.
Then, last night my prepaid balance lapsed and immediately I started receiving messages saying "Your MMS message could not be delivered. Insufficient prepaid balance." The problem is that I very rarely send MMS and I certainly haven't sent any in recent memory.

It could be a fluke, and the two above things may not be related, but it was enough to make me want to investigate further. I am planning on flashing back to stock just to be safe, but first I'd like some help tracking down whether or not there is an issue here or enough to believe my phone has been compromised somehow.
First I checked my logcat and noticed a few suspicious things:
I see several cancelNotification messages from MMS:App and several composemessageactivity calls from PackageManager. Here are a few from a time I wasn't sending any messages at all:
Code:
12-22 13:47:28.333 I/PackageManager(685): Adding preferred activity ComponentInfo{com.android.mms/com.android.mms.ui.ComposeMessageActivity} for user 0 :
12-22 13:47:28.373 I/PackageManager(685): Scheme: "mms"
12-22 13:47:28.373 I/PackageManager(685): Adding preferred activity ComponentInfo{com.android.mms/com.android.mms.ui.ComposeMessageActivity} for user 0 :
12-22 13:47:28.454 I/PackageManager(685): Scheme: "mmsto"
12-22 13:47:28.454 I/PackageManager(685): Adding preferred activity ComponentInfo
I also see calls to an MMS notification sound that I've never heard before. I also don't know what AwesomePlayer is (something built in to Android?):
Code:
12-22 15:39:34.304 D/AwesomePlayer(208): printFileName fd(44) -> /system/media/audio/notifications/F1_New_MMS.ogg
I pulled my mmssms.db from the phone and looked through it and didn't see anything that jumped out at me, but I admit I don't really know what I'm looking at.
Next I checked what apps have permissions for sending messages and didn't notice anything unusual. Google Voice and Twitter are the only user apps listed with access when I checked with xPrivacy (xPosed plugin). F-Secure App Permissions also show Twist, Google Search, Hangouts, and Google Play. But it looks like from the logcat the stock mms app is being called, so maybe something malicious wouldn't show up here?
I have not installed any apps I would consider "shady" and have never touched any pirated apps, but I do have a few installed from outside the play market. These are:
AdAway
dSploit
xPosed Installer
xPrivacy (xposed plugin)
Here is a complete list of apps installed on my device: http://snippi.com/s/uh08y66
I downloaded Webroot and AVG antivirus and ran scans. AVG flagged dSploit as a "potentially unwanted program" and warned that my device is rooted and I have 3rd party app installs allowed.
Is the above evidence enough to believe my phone is compromised or is there another possible explanation for the MMS activity? Like does T-Mobile maybe use some component of MMS to keep in communication with towers, etc?
Any ideas what else I can look at to try to get to the bottom of this before I flash back to stock?

You that reddit guy form /r/android ?
My adivce. FULL CLEAN WIPE.
flash a stock 4.4.2 image.

Yea same guy. I'm definitely going to wipe it. The reason I installed CM11 in the first place is because I was getting interested and trying to learn more about security - so I was hoping that I could gather a little more data on this and see if I could figure where I went wrong. I guess the lesson is the same one at the beginning of every spy movie: don't trust anyone. Especially the guy who says that to you.

get droidwall, firewall to block apps that don't or shouldn't access the net, I did this to block dolphin browser using my data when I wasn't aware, some apps send yourself txts, you notice this when receiving them in flight mode.
perhaps restore to an earlier backup.
I thought xposed framework had security flaws unless they fixed that, one reason why I never tried

Don't you agree to c.m statistics when you flash C.M roms now if so it collects data and has to be sent some how.
Never looked into it myself and haven't run a c.m rom for a while but it's worth looking at.

Getting the Most Out of the Built-In Phone Manager App

Getting the Most Out of the Built-In Phone Manager App
You may have noticed the Phone Manager app on your Honor 8. If you've never bothered to mess with this app, I highly recommend it. There are a lot of ways that the app can help improve the way your phone operates. Here are some of the best ways to use this app.
System Optimization
The System Optimizer will scan your phone to find apps running in your memory. You can select individual apps to be cleared making your phone faster. You can make this process faster by whitelisting the apps that you don't want to be cleared. The next time you need to clear your cache, you can simply hit "clean" and all the apps that aren't on the whitelist will be closed.

}
Traffic Manager
Monitor the data used by each app to see which ones are using up the most of your 4G allowance. This section will also have the option to setup a portable Wi-Fi hotspot.
Harassment Filter
Harassment Filter is a very smart way to sort out all the incoming communication that you don't want. You can add phone numbers and contacts to the sms and call blacklist. Not only that but you can add keywords to be blocked as well. Any message sent to you with one of the blacklisted words will be blocked.
Head into the settings in the top right corner to adjust your notifications for the harassment filter. Your phone can be set to notify you every time a message or call is intercepted.
Notification center
The notification center gives you complete control over what apps are allowed to push notifications and where they're allowed to appear. Go to an app and toggle status bar, banner and lock screen to determine how the notifications for that app will show up. You can also assign "priority display" where a notification can interrupt whatever you're doing at the time.
App Lock
Set four digit passwords for specific apps. I've got a lock on my photos, hangouts and snapchat.
Protected Apps
When you turn your screen off, many apps are suspended to save battery time. When this happens, data will not push to these apps so many times you wont receive notifications from them. By default, many apps are already protected so they don't get suspended when the screen is off. Go into this menu to see what apps are on the list. Add or remove apps as you see fit.

There seems to be a much deeper depth in the phone manager than what i first expected. Thank you for the write-up. +1

Thank you for this in-depth explanation, much appreciated

Is there very similar app for the non Honor devices in playstore?

Unwanted popup

My phone is stock, no changes other than a few apps have been disabled.
I am getting an unwanted popup after I receive a call. It wants me to install Instagram, or another program. I have scanned with Malwarebytes but it finds no viruses.
Any help in getting rid of this appreciated. Please see the attachment.
Thanks.

Do you have ES File Explorer (think I see it in the background)? Try uninstalling that app and see if the ads persist. ES File Explorer may be presenting adverts and popups.

Thanks, but that did not work. Onto the next guess!

are you using a custom launcher? some of them provide ads on your ohone.. also try removing any apps that are known for showing popups

Chinese apps tend to have overlays like that, especially those cleaning/boosting apps. Get rid of those and see.

When it pops up, do you see anything more in the expanded notification bar? If yes, then press and hold on it and tap on "app info/detail". From there you can see which app is displaying these pop ups and disable notifications.

Thanks, Using ADW. Removed and still there.

Don't have any of those, but good guess.

No way to expand the notification nor any way to get more information. Talked to Motorola support and they had me clean the cache and that did nothing either.

Last case resort, start uninstalling apps one by one with the newest one first. When the pop ups stop, you've found the problem.

Prior to using the last resort method provided by riggerman, you can view how much data/wifi each app is using that is currently installed on your device. This can be done by navigating to network info in your settings. Then simply compare that data to which app is eating up your memory at the time of the pop up. A more in depth method would to use an app that is designed to gather in depth data on installed apps specifically for the user, such an app would be Android Addon Detector available in the Play Store (link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.denper.addonsdetector). I wont write up the way to do it cause I don't have that kind of time at the moment, and it'll do you good to teach yourself given the internet and the app FAQ and developers site because knowledge is power, and knowledge also helps to quickly deal with little piece of bull**** that land on your path in life, such as annoying popups

Removed 2 backup apps and seems to have gone away, thanks.

Had the same popup problem. I said STOP in response it has gone away.

How can I remove the Covid-19 notifications that mysteriously appeared on my phone!?!

Running XXXNoLimits, OOS 10.3, Elemental X kernal
Did not update anything this week. Now, under settings-google there is "covid-19 notifications". Had to have been either carrier pushed or a google back door. I don't even have a google account on my phone!
Shows "on/1app" but when I push it the screen just goes dark until I hit back.
Titanium and App ops can't find it.
I keep bluetooth off and only turn location on when I need Magic Earth Maps, then turn it back off, however, the pisses me the f**k off that it has been loaded on my phone.
I have a Samsug Tab running Lineage and it is not there, but the tab is wifi only. Tried Lineage 3 times on my phone and can not get Signal messenger to work and that is a deal breaker for me.
Anyway, how do we get rid it this??

Is this the screen you are referring to, but with different info populating it?

I don't have any Covid apps installed so for me there are no settings to turn on or off; this form of contact tracing is not yet available where I live.
The big question is what app on your phone is being detected as a contact tracing app.

How do the notifications look like? Regular notifications? Perhaps take a screenshot when you see another one. You should be able to trace which app (or system element) is spewing out these nuisances by long pressing the notification and take more actions by tapping the gear icon top right...

@franken..... I actually don't get to that screen, but that is the right place. Checked a another Android and that is the screen it goes to, mine just goes black.
@timmmmm...haven't gotten any notifications as I don't have any covd apps.
Settings does, however show "on/1 app". I am guessing a glitch since I have leashed google w xxx, Titanium, and App Opps.
I have not done the last system update. Don't have a google account, but do have a google Fi sim card since I live overseas and it works here.
I read google pushed this out as a new setting, for those that download covid apps, blah, blah, blah.......but HOW?
And how do we get rid of it. Article I read on a UK new site said "usage and diagnostics" is where you can turn it off and on, my phone was and is set to off, but I still wanna get rid of it.

That's part of a Google Play Services update, you can't remove it.
If you don't opt-in explicitly, it should not have any effect.

Do you really want to trust that? I personally wouldnt trust anything said or done at this point. For sometime my phone's been acting weird. Note 9 completely stock. But my g7 power rooted since day one with a global variant still runs like a charm. I'd rather just remove it or better yet permanently disabled it through some exploit.

What exactly do you think the phone is doing with that Covid-19 notification setting without an app to drive it? Contact tracer apps need to plug into the local health authority, and only a few places in the US are doing it because people are so suspicious of big tech. I would gladly participate but it's not available in my area.

The only way to get rid of it is to delete Google Play Services. That's how they snuck it in. On Android Pie it's simple. Just debloat via ADB using pm list packages prompt and voila! it's gone. On Android 10 it works the same EXCEPT none of the google apps, firefox, instacart, or anything like that will WORK. So you can de-google all you want - they've baked it into everything. It's something I'm struggling with now since I was forced to upgrade.
